Turkish bus driver slams into stop, stabs people; 13 injured
2019-11-04
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Police in Istanbul say they have detained a driver who rammed his bus into a crowded stop and attacked people who tried to prevent him from escaping with a knife. At least 13 people have been injured.

A police statement said the 33-year-old bus driver was detained on Sunday after he jumped into the sea to try and get away from the scene.

The 13 injured included a man who was stabbed as he tried to prevent him from running away after he drove the city bus into the stop.

Police said three Iranian nationals and two children were also among those injured.

It was not immediately clear whether the man drove the bus into the stop by accident.
Since he followed up by stabbing all within reach, an accident seems unlikely.
Police said an investigation has been launched.

Perhaps this is simply the local custom. Here, if we had an accident, we would exchange insurance info. Maybe over there, they exchange puncture wounds. It seems reasonable that different cultures would have different degrees of stabbiness.

But not before he stabbed two Red Mullets, and a passing Sardine.
